While the major change in my resume would obviously be the work I've done in the past year, I also want rephrase and replace certain points from my older resume. Would this seem dishonest? Do adcoms compare the old and new resume side by side to see what has changed?
friskymarkets rephrasing your achievements on your resume is not a negative thing at all. In fact, most schools conduct sessions to help students optimize their resumes to bring out their achievements, leadership qualities, and true potential before the job season. You will not become a management grad in the true sense unless you learn to sell your experience and capabilities. Adcoms will have your old application at their disposal but they will make the decision only basis your updated resume.
Make sure that resume achievements are corroborated by your LORs or certificates in some manner to add more credibility.
